responses to Solomon Schecter day School attack on Trump's immigration order. Joel Pallak's is much nicer than mine.

"Dear Ms. Foster, Ms. Dohn, and Ms. Forester,

I am a Schechter alum ('91) who greatly valued my experience at the school.

I note with interest your recent letter about President Donald Trump's refugee policy, which was forwarded to me.

I do not recall any such communication when President Barack Obama suspended the influx of Iraqi refugees in 2011. Nor did the school issue a statement when President Obama shut the door on Cuban refugees -- to appease the anti-Israel Castro regime, no less -- a few weeks ago.

Nowhere in your statement do you even acknowledge the valid concern that the majority of Americans share about the possibility that Islamic terrorists could use the refugee program to infiltrate our country, as they have done in Europe. In many cases such terrorists target Jewish schools and institutions.

You mention International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I recently had the opportunity to make a private visit to the facility in Skokie that once housed Solomon Schechter when I was a student, and which is now a Muslim school. The vice principal was kind enough to show me around.

In front of the building, there are two identical trees. I asked her if she knew the story behind those trees. She did not.

I told her that when I was in the third grade, we planted those trees in a ceremony to honor two Righteous Gentiles who saved Jews in the Holocaust. She was glad to be informed, or perhaps reminded, of that history.

There is clearly more that the current leadership of Solomon Schechter can be doing to promote genuine interfaith dialogue and Holocaust awareness than making inaccurate, partisan statements that distort current events and abuse Jewish values for political purposes.

Kind regards,

Joel Pollak"

Mine"Dear Ms. Foster, Ms. Dohn, and Ms. Forester,

I am a Schechter alum (1970) who greatly valued my experience at the school. I am very disappointed in your response to the president's order on immigration. You view violates Jewish law in 3 ways at least.

1. Sacanat nefashote: reckless endangerment of society’s safety. Derived from “Make a fence around your roof, so that you won’t bring bloodshed upon your house if someone falls.” (Deuteronomy 22:8) Maimonides says a person that creates a hazardous situation is responsible for any harm that occurs. DO YOU DENY THE HAVOC AND DANGER these "refugees" have brought to Europe" DO YOU DENY Isis has successfully infiltrated the refugees there and here? DO YOU DENY Isis claims that they will send terrorists here with the refugees?

2. Not to remove landmarks (property boundaries) (Deut. 19:14) WE HARM the refugees. We bring them to alien culture to which they will not adapt, instead of resettling them in culture where they can adapt and be safe. Overwhelming majority wants to live in a shariah society, which is antithetical to USA. Suddenly, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi have signed on, in a conversation with President Trump, to start to accept Syrian refugees.Being Tough works, moron Democratic Snowflakes.

3. Avoid Hypocrisy Rabbi Soloveitchik says that the source for the prohibition of hypocrisy is Numbers 33/35 ולא תחניפו את הארץ. He then says that the Rambam derives it from from Yeshaya 66/17 (הפטרה for shabbos rosh chodesh) people who publicly look pious and privately eat swine - אוכלי בשר החזיר השקץ והעכבורו.. Crybaby/ HYPOCRITE Sen. Chuck Schumer, the nation’s leading Democrat and all the other “refugee” protesters sponsored by Nazi lover George Soros, hypocritically protesting this immigration review, which is another in a long line of Democratic Presidential temporary bans (including by Carter and Obama) on immigrants for security purposes, during a press gaggle in November of 2015, Senator Schumer told reporters himself that a temporary "pause" on refugees "may be necessary". Obama banned Iraqi immigrants for 6 months in 2011, in fact he used the same provision five other times, one more in 2011, twice in 2012 and twice in 2014

all these pathetic jewish organizations attacking Trump for the International Holocaust day statement. (not recognized by Jews). our day is 27 Nissan. Lauder criticizes ADL reaction to Trump statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day

Sat, 28 Jan 2017

World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said the following in response to the Anti-Defamation League's criticism of a statement made by US President Donald Trump on the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day:

"It does no honor to the millions of Jews murdered in the Holocaust to play politics with their memory.

"Any fair reading of the White House statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day will see it appropriately commemorates the suffering and the heroism that mark that dark chapter in modern history.

"There is enough real anti-Semitic and there are enough true threats facing the Jewish people today. Our community gains nothing if we reach a point where manufactured outrages reduce public sensitivity to the real dangers we confront," Lauder said.

There are at least 3 major sins in OPPOSING Trump's temporary ban. The 3 SINS in Judaism of Opposing Trump’s temporary travel ban. https://www.facebook.com/JonathanGinsb/videos/10154762564565837/

We VIOLATE one of the greatest mizvote in the Torah if we allow in unvetted refugees. Mitzvah of sacanat nefest is derived from Make a fence around your roof, so that you won’t bring bloodshed upon your house if someone falls. (Deuteronomy 22:8) Maimonides says a person that creates a hazardous situation is responsible for any harm that occurs. +++ WE HARM the refugees. We bring them to alien culture to which they will not adapt, instead of resettling tem in culture where they can adapt and be safe.

To crybaby Sen. Chuck Schumer, the nation’s leading Democrat and all the other “refugee protesters sponsored by Nazi lover George Soros, protesting another in a long line of Presidential temporary bans (including by Carter and Obama) on immigrants for security purposes:

DO YOU DENY THE HAVOC AND DANGER these "refugees" have brought to Europe"

DO YOU DENY Isis has successfully infiltrated the refugees there and here?

DO YOU DENY Isis claims that they will send terrorists here with the refugees?

DO YOU DENY that both Obama and Carter instituted similar bans? No protests then.

DO YOU DENY it is ODIOUS to compare Jews fleeing Hitler with shariah supporting jihad loving refugees? 51% of US Muslims currently support shariah and 25% currently support violent jihad.

DO YOU DENY ALL our intelligence services say we cannot properly vet these refugees?

DO YOU DENY San Bernardino, Orlando, Marathon Bomber etc were all "vetted" refugees"?

DO YOU DENY Syrian Refugees, in Canada less than a week, just shot and killed many Muslims at a mosque?

Do YOU ADMIT NO Muslim country has taken any “refugees”?

There is no humanitarian case for admitting them at all: at enormous cost, we protect a tiny percentage of the refugee population, while subjecting them to an alien culture to which many will never adapt. It makes more humanitarian sense to devote those resources to protecting a far larger number of refugees where they live, or close to where they live, in a familiar culture.

The MITZVAH OF PIKUACH NEFESH, saving lives, Trumps all other mitvote.

This is a DEEPLY MORAL PAUSE to figure out how to better protect us, as required by the Constitution. Your support of unlimited open borders and refugees endangers us all, and is deeply IMMORAL!!!

Anyone who takes American security interests seriously and who has been paying attention will agree that a fresh look is overdue.

MAJORITY in US SUPPORT the temporary ban. http://www.hannity.com/articles/hanpr-immigration-487258/poll-majority-of-voters-approve-of-15517966/

1.Every nation has a moral right to determine who
comes in to their country. Democrats ignore it. ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL. Illegal
entrance is NOT the same as legal entrance.

2.America has been a very generous nation,
allowing 1,000,000 legally in each year. We should those who follow legal
procedures take a back seat to the illegals who come in? Europe is exhibit A
that Isis smuggles monsters in with refugee population and wreaking havoc. Isis
promises the same to us. ALL our intelligence services say we cannot vet them
properly. . Democrats and leftists response to Trump's Executive
action trying to protect us from Isis terrorists infiltrating with
"refugees" essentially is to say "let them all in. we don't care
how many Americans die, does not matter we cannot vet them safely." Boston
bombers, sanbernardino,
Orlando killers etc were all “vetted

3.There is no
"Muslim ban." There is a ban from countries with high levels of
terrorist activity. It's not our fault those just happen to be almost entirely
Islamic..

4.Obama/Hillary stopped Iraqi immigrants for 6
months in 2011. Why was ok then and not now?

5.Those claiming opponents to open borders are
heartless are actually the heartless ones themselves. They evidently do not
care about the violence, crimes, welfare costs, medical costs, casually related
to the illegals.

6.No Muslim nation has taken ANY refugees.

7.Most of the refugees support shariah and jihad,
a grave danger to us.

Surprised that the GOP Congressman from Michigan attacking Trump Executive order on refugees is an Arab? Born in Grand Rapids, and raised in Kentwood, Amash is a second-generation Arab-American of Palestinian Christian and Syrian Greek Orthodox descent. His father, Attallah, is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956 through the sponsorship of a Christian pastor and his family. His mother, Mimi, is a Syrian immigrant to the United States. "Amash voted against the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, favored a measure to repeal indefinite detention, and opposed reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act.

Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump signed an order Friday to strengthen the vetting of would-be immigrants or refugees and to keep "radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America."

At a ceremony at the Pentagon to swear in James Mattis as his secretary of defense, Trump signed a decree entitled: "Protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States."

"This is big stuff," he declared, to polite applause from gathered senior military brass.

The White House did not immediately make the wording of the decree public, but a draft text had been leaked to US media earlier in the week and was widely reported on.

According to this unconfirmed order, Trump's decree suspends the entire US refugee resettlement program for at least 120 days while tough new vetting rules are established.

In addition, it specifically bars Syrian refugees from the United States indefinitely, or until the president himself decides that they no longer pose a threat.

Meanwhile, no visas will be issued for 30 days to travellers, whether would-be visitors or migrants, from seven mainly-Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

14.Want gun confiscation of guns from law abiding
citizens, just as Hitler, Mao and Stalin did.

15.Decimate Blacks. They control most inner
cities, with massive black poverty, rising black on black murders. They have
done nothing to improve it in 60 years. Always fought civil rights legislation.
Were KKK and slave owners.

16.Israel
haters, pro Islamic terrorism. Birthed Isis.

17.Liberals believe a.
Republicans caused the financial disaster in 27/8 and b. Obama fixed it. The
truth is the OPPOSITE!

Don't you think Linda would be better off
fighting for "Women's Rights"in one of the 56 muslim majority countries in
the world, rather than protesting for the right to kill babies in America? This
Israel HATING antisemite is one of the organizers of the anti-Trump movement.
Linda also has a habit of defending Arabs murdering Jews as a natural response
to the "occupation".http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp…

21. They backed the most dangerous president of all times. Obama set loads of records: Just a few .
